Mary Gail McKee, 64, of Amarillo, Texas, passed away on November 8, 2026.

Mary was born on August 31, 1962, in Amarillo, Texas, to Carol Stafford. In her younger years, she was a passionate barrel racer with a lifelong affection for horses. Mary was truly amazing—beautiful in spirit and heart, artistic, and remarkably handy. She could paint anything, fix anything, and take on any project, loving every minute of it.

Above all, Mary loved the Lord and her family. She was a devoted wife, sharing 45 wonderful years of marriage with her husband, Billy. Together, she and Billy loved to travel in their camper, hitting the road to explore new places and experience life to the fullest. Mary showed what a woman of God is supposed to be in the faithful, selfless way she lived her life. Always putting others first, she was the best mom—kind, supportive, loving, and a fierce protector who always had her children’s backs. She loved Christmas, and nothing brought her more joy than having her family gathered together. As "Grammy," she loved unconditionally and always made sure her grandchildren were taken care of. Mary meant everything to her family, and her love, strength, and grace will live on forever.

She is preceded in death by her father, Richard Harp, and her sister, Debbie Youngblood.

Mary is survived by her loving husband of 45 years, Billy McKee; her daughter, Amanda McKee and Tim Bixenman; her son, Brandon McKee and wife Lyndsey; her mother, Carol Stafford; her cherished grandchildren, Jericho, Grayson, Preslee, Charlee, Jackson, Ethan, and Madison; one great-grandchild on the way; as well as many extended family members and dear friends.
